In that case, we're still back to this gen having 20 million fewer Nintendo system owners versus the 6th gen.

And here's the thing; Nintendo wasn't really mainstream then either. The Wii saw them return to mainstream prominence, but in the 6th gen they'd lost a lot of their relevance to the average consumer, so comparing this gen to the 6th gen is a sad statement in itself.

They sold over 100m hardware units in the sixth gen. Does this mean Sony's PS1 wasn't really mainstream in the fifth gen either?

What was your original point again? This thread was about showing that Nintendo software is still in high demand despite Nintendo making so many bad decisions. You disagreed with what exactly?

PS1 controlled the vast majority of the home console market. GBA may have had a monopoly on the handheld sector, but GCN had scarcely over 10% of the 6th gen console market.

I never contended that Nintendo software still sells well. It's hardware, however, does not.
